Hi, my name is Jordan Rodriguez. I'm a photographer, videographer, and have a background in mixing music/audio engineering. I have also created social media marketing campaigns for brands such as Lululemon and Arlo. I am currently based out of Southern California, Los Angeles and Orange County to be exact, but I would be happy to travel for your project! As a photographer, I have a background in lifestyle advertising, interior/architecture, studio, product, landscape and events. I have worked with companies such as COCA-COLA, New Balance, Architectural Digest and many more. I can do HDR/bracketing photography if needed and can retouch as well. I got my start doing events such as weddings/music festivals and since then have branched off to do lifestyle Ad-campaigns, architectural/interior work and much more. I am very confident with my editing skills, whether I am using Lightroom, Photoshop, Davinci Resolve and many more applications. As a videographer, I specialize in architecture, event coverage, weddings, branded content, such as marketing videos, and documentary style films. I have years of experience working alongside full crews as well as working alongside advertising teams, whether it's pre-production, filming or editing. I've shot fashion for clothing companies. I have worked with artists and musicians and love putting my creative set of skills to the test with new projects. I have also created tutorials and testimonials for various clients. As of 2017 I dove more into the world of filming/photographing interior design/architecture where i've grown to really appreciate the keen eye of all types of design. Within the audio field, I have mixed projects for various companies and individuals and can record any audio needed, whether it's out in the field or in a studio. I have access to recording gear as well as editing software, such as Logic Pro and/or AVID Pro Tools.

I'm a highly creative individual with an eclectic background. A former hip-hop dancer and mix DJ, turned videographer, photographer and editor. As a videographer, my experience comes from editing news to recording dance and theater shows, as well as small business profiles for Yelp, Zillow and YouTube clients. As a photographer, my specialty is with food and real estate properties. I just love making food salivating, showing off its textures with a few ingredients off to the side as props. With real estate properties, my goal is to showcase a location’s feel, and give an impression to the viewer as if they’re there. As an editor for videos, I keep in mind the company’s brand, while also delivering a product that engages viewers. For editing food photos, it’s all about making it look as enticing as possible without overselling it. And with property photos, I like making them lively, with a fresh perspective.
